Annotation Type DbProperty

@Retention(value=RUNTIME)
@Target(value=METHOD)
public @interface DbProperty

The DbProperty annotation is applied to virtual Java properties. It must be applied to the getter method. 'get' and 'set' methods are required to exist. The property values are obtained from the equivalent JADE object on each access, and updated back to this JADE object on each set. The JADE object, if persistent, is not saved back to the database until an EntityTransaction.commit() is done.
